in this interview Gunston & FZ have a blues jam, (or jelly as Gunston assumes Americans might refer to it as) with FZ on Guitar & Gunston on harmonica. Gunston closes his harmonica vamp with the theme from the ABC news (ABC here like BBC or PBS).

The musical reference that Gunston (aka Garry MacDonald) uses to close his performance is 'Majestic Fanfare' written in 1935 by the British composer Charles Williams (1893 - 1978).

CW is perhaps better remembered for his 'Dream of Owen', but 20th century Australians knew 'Majestic Fanfare' as the theme music for radio and television news programs on the government funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC, formerly the Australian Broadcasting Commission).

The ABC 're-orchestrated' (ie paid big money to Richard Mills to do a Muzak-type sampling job) its news theme in 2000.
